43
Frontal Eye Feild
- located in the superior surface of the middle frontal gyrus - regulate the eye movements for reading and coordinating binocular vision
44
Primary somatosensory cortex
- located in the post central gyrus area of the parietal lobe - receives somatic information from touch, pain, itch, tickle, propreoception, thermal sensation, sensory receptors, - locate the orgins of reception
45
Primary visual cortex
- located in the occipital lobe - received and processes visual information
46
Primary auditory cortex
- located in the temporal lobe - receives and processes auditory information
